Despite Josh Briggs’s courageous efforts, his existing rib injuries hindered his performance, making him an easy target for Ivar’s attacks. Undeterred by his recent defeat against Sheamus on WWE RAW, Ivar remained determined throughout the match. The 304-pound wrestler delivered a powerful Tiger Slam followed by his signature Moonsault, clinching a crucial victory.
Post-match, Oba Femi was questioned about his thoughts on Ivar’s triumph, to which he cryptically responded with ‘Interesting.’ He then swiftly exited, making a statement by taking down Oro Mensah on his way out. The wrestling world is now abuzz with speculation on whether Ivar can defy the odds and unseat the formidable Nigerian champion to become the new NXT North American Champion. The unfolding drama and unexpected twists in the NXT roster continue to charm fans, leaving them eager for more thrilling matchups and surprising outcomes.
